I saved about $1000 on the wheels, but already spent that

As a result of being on this site, I've found there is no end to more stuff I want to buy, every time I think I'm done, something else comes up that I like... And 23 with new trees would be on this list

lol u think being on this site is bad for your bank account try being on "The Set" in Cali. This site is just the tip of the ice berg.



Why new trees? whats wrong with yours?

Good to know about the tree.

As far as The Set goes, I would go crazy seeing stuff I'd want to do. The list is bad enough now

I put a 21 on the front with no change in tripple trees but had the neck cut and raked 7deg. I think I am with everyone else though, at parking lot speeds it seems a little on the heavy to turn side but at speed and in the corners it is amazing. Almost like being back on a sportster in the twisties!

Those wheels are nice looking! Very good choice and it flows with your bike really good.

These are for sale. IMO I love the handling. I ride my Glide like Gixxer. I actually am going bigger.
